Proposals that are
incomplete or received after the deadline will not be considered.

All ESA Annual
Meeting proposal and abstract deadlines are 5:00 PM Eastern so that technical
support and ESA staff assistance will be immediately available when submitters
need it. If you begin your submission very close to the deadline, you are
choosing to take a risk and we will NOT make an exception if you don’t complete
your submission in time. The form automatically closes at 5:00 EST / 2:00 PST
whether you have completed your submission or not.

We invite proposals
for field trips for the 100th ESA Annual Meeting, “Ecological
Science at the Frontier: Celebrating ESA’s Centennial.”

Field trips allow
participants to explore ecological attractions local to the meeting city and
region. Trips may last part of a day, an entire day, or two days (with an
overnight stay included). Most trips require bus transportation; however, we
very much welcome walking and biking tours close to the convention center. Use
of public transportation is also encouraged, if applicable. There is a vast
array of things to experience in Baltimore, and we hope attendees take the
chance to see what Baltimore has to offer.

Trips that last all
or most of a day are usually scheduled during the weekend prior to the
beginning of the formal scientific program. Shorter trips may take place over
the weekend or during the week. Field trips may be linked with other conference
events.
